Okay so the debate rambles on over here at the casa de canine (can we all guess that my spanish is awful). I didn't call the ob's office when I woke up.
What would they say- is it worse? No - it's actually better, now back to the usual...
Do I have cramping? No...
Do I have abdominal pain? No...
Do I have nausea?? No haven't had that one...
Would I fess up about the doppler - probably not. So since we all know that right now if things are going wrong there's nothing we can do about it... and rest truly has not been shown to change the outcome - except in situations with incompetent cervix and a cerclage or stitch - well I'll probably just tell them at the ob appt on Thursday - unless of course things change and symptoms change etc. Until then I've got the doppler to help with my own personal insanity.
Yes - I do generally work 6 in a row - 12 hour shifts. Yes, I'm planning on continuing that for as long as I can - why??? I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the 8 days off... It allows me to get away from the hospital and remember why I work and why I love kids. When this work is done let me just say - I will be happy. To say that the week has been rough would be an understatement. It doesn't mean I won't be back tomorrow because I will, but it means that sometimes there are patients that rip your heart out a bit more... and make you angry about situations and remind you that your life is pretty good.
In other news - Pray pray pray that one of the docs I work with goes for a puppy. We (my coworkers and I) have pulled out all the stops including emotional warfare... puppy pictures... an email to his wife. Reminders that their kids would love a puppy etc etc. They're great people and a dog would be lucky to have them as their new owners... and I'd get to see pictures frequently. So this would be a nice thing... and it'd be 1 less dog.
Will keep you posted about both issues.

Don't say anything to the Circle, but I think we are going to keep Arnie. No one but you would understand my insanity about keeping more than one puppy!
I'll hope you get that puppy a new home, and I'll hope that the bleeding stops, and I'll continue to admire you for your strength in adversity.
F*ck about the bleeding!
Sorry, been MIA for a couple days. Ash is here 'till Wednesday.
We'll keep rooting for the not negative here and hoping for the best.
Just leaving you a hug and a prayer.
I hope you're doing better!! I'm thinking of you!!
Thinking of you, hoping everything is okay, and you continue to say NBHHY. (((hugs)))
